My name is Muhammad Ahmed, and I am proudly known as “LinkedInwala.” Based in Karachi, Pakistan, I am a digital learning strategist, youth advocate, and the Founder and President of LinkNTech for Education (LNTFE), an initiative officially registered within the European Commission’s Salto Youth Network. My mission centers on building non-formal, open-access learning frameworks that equip teenagers and young adults in developing societies with essential technical capabilities and digital mindsets.

Through LNTFE, I advocate for the widespread adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) and scalable digital systems. By designing innovative, barrier-free learning pathways, we bypass traditional institutional and financial hurdles to make technical, digital, and business literacy universally accessible to the next generation.

As an OEGlobal Advocate, my work directly advances the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

SDG 4: Quality Education – By developing, structuring, and scaling open-license, non-formal learning resources that ensure inclusive, equitable, and lifelong learning opportunities for underserved youth.

SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – By fostering digital innovation and utilizing technology to build resilient digital learning infrastructures tailored for emerging economies.

SDG 13: Climate Action – By integrating open-access environmental literacy and sustainability mindsets into our non-formal tech education programs to mobilize youth for climate awareness.

SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – By actively collaborating across borders, aligning with international bodies like the European Commission’s Salto Youth Network, and building open-source global networks to mobilize resources for youth digital empowerment.

I join the OEGlobal community to collaborate with international pioneers, share open-source localized digital governance strategies, and build impactful global partnerships that democratize learning.
